About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails
Good for groups

Our tale began in the heart of the kitchen, with just a handful of humble ingredients and a spark of inspiration. Before we knew it, we were crafting dishes that whispered (or sometimes shouted) to every palate.

At STORY, inspiration isn’t just a goal—it’s a promise. Maybe it’s the bold, unapologetic flavors of our pizzas or the inventive twists in our craft cocktails. Perhaps it’s the ambiance that wraps you up and makes you feel... something. Or maybe it’s the company you keep around the table that makes it all unforgettable.

So, sit back and let our service do more than just serve—let them captivate you with the stories behind our dishes, the magic in our drinks, and the passion of our owner, who dreamed up this space just so you could add your own story to ours.

Ordered ribeye. It was a fatty piece of meat so I was disappointed with food quality. But, the worst part was, the sauce on the steak. The waiter said it was a fermented garlic sauce. It tasted like cherries. It was just plain terrible. I couldn’t eat it and server never ask why. Won’t be back.

Wow! We had a party of 10 and we’re seated in one of the fabulous velvet booths and we fit just fine. We enjoyed numerous appetizers, main courses and desserts that were simply over the top. I can’t say enough about how delicious the food was and what a great vibe this restaurant has. We will definitely be back great service.

I had the short rib entree and it was cooked to perfection. Tasty mashed potatoes, fresh green beans and carrots were perfect prepared with just a little crunch. It was more than I could eat in one sitting. Reminded me of mom’s cooking. I sat at the bar and there was a handy hook for my purse. Inspite of the high seats, they were comfortable (padded) and had a ring for my short legs. A game was on the TV but not too loud to prevent conversation. I will definitely go back!

Atmosphere is really nice and gives off a fancy dining vibe. The appetizers are good and the dessert was delicious but my main course was okay. I ordered the filet mignon and lobster. The roasted vegetables were way too hard and the portions were small for the price. Overall, I would go again if I was in the area but I wouldn’t make a trip specifically for a date idea again.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed our atmosphere, appetizers, and dessert, and we appreciate your kind words about the fancy dining vibe. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your main course, the filet mignon and lobster, didn't quite hit the mark. It sounds like the roasted vegetables weren't prepared to our usual standards. That is definitely not the experience we want our guests to have. We'd love for you to give us another try if you're in the area. We're always working to improve, and we're confident we can deliver a five-star experience on your next visit. Thank You from SToRY Management

We had great service and the food was delicious. I had Classic eggs Benedict and my sister had biscuits & gravy both were so flavorful. I can't wait to come back and try something else.
